Some great shots there David!!
I like the blend of detail and grandiose framing you do!
PSA moment-
Change your outboard impellers every couple years.
I bought a 2008 Yamaha 20HP motor about 5 years ago, the only thing I did not do after I got it was pop a new one in.
Here's what they do after waiting too long:
Here's what I found after it failed and I pulled it apart
After more digging through the passageways
When it failed the motor shut it's self down, glad it did- saved the motor from catastrophic damage.
Put in all new parts including the housing in 2015, only needed a new impeller in 2017 and 2019.
It's time for another again!
